tl;dr I think the author in that post means that CyanogenOS is the problematic one. CyanogenMod /should/ be fine. Although a migration to LineageOS is probably a better option (this is my opinion) at this point given that CM will

Interesting development. Could this be a good thing that encourages OEM to standardize on something like the IBM-like PC that we have for x86 systems so we don't have to deal with each individual boards in Android or the traditional GN

That article describes how the master encryption key stored on the hdd (your password encrypts this key afaik) gets corrupted, which means the author was unable to recover the files on the computer even if nothing is wrong anywhere else. No

Now Niantic's decision to disallow root devices, imo, is pretty regretful, as serious botters will likely be able to get around that restriction regardless. This only serves to punish users who are stuck between having a root-enabled c

As a sibling comment has said, there are scarcity of energy and resources. Now let's even pretend that can be a solved problem (not that I think it is possible, just from a physics POV): there will still be a transitional period where

I think the parent is trying to say that successful people all have luck, while not all hard working people are successful. I feel this is a correct, one way relation, as being born in the right country is luck in itself.

While this comment may seem a little inflammatory, it does not deserve a downvote, as it brings an interesting point of discussion. In my view, there are two different things we have to balance with something like UBI: 1. Provide for those

The upside of this is that if you want to very quickly destroy your data, all you need to erase is the master key securely. This is true for LUKS on Linux as well. Destroy the LUKS header, you data is now forever gone.

It depends on what you want to do. Are you authenticating a human? Are you authenticating a machine? OAuth and simple API keys address very different concerns. Generally Oauth is for authenticating to a 3rd party service/client that yo

I didn't downvote you either. I agree with your premise. However, I think using the words "security theatre" is inflammatory and overly pessimistic, which is why you're getting downvoted. Generally the general feeling he

I'm not sure if that accurately reflect why this is relevant either. I think it is fairly significant that PLR is very much connected to TC (and it is suspected that he is involved with TC financially). I do not have a better title sug

OP of this post here. Not sure why you're downvoted and tried to upvote it to rebalance. I also realized after reading the article for the second time that it did not say that PLR is TC's author directly, but rather that it is unc

Looking at the article again I realize the headline here may be incorrect. It is not proven that Le Roux wrote TrueCrypt, but he definitely built the foundation for it. > Hafner and his SecurStar colleagues suspected that Le Roux was par

This may be true. If you look at the timeline of his arrest and when TrueCrypt ceased development, they are around the same time. Matthew Green also tweeted about this correlation on twitter: https://twitter.com/matthew_d_gr
